Panda at home, post first tasting back at Canary Wharf, my bad timing ... thanks to LKS for this bottle. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a thin beige cap that soon dissipates. Nose is sweaty fruits, figs, vinous tones, brown bread, nutty, earthy, fruit slice. Taste comprises dusty fruits, brown bread, big oxidised tone, nutty, stewed fruits, sweaty knickers. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light drying close. Not terrible for the perceived age and fun to rake RB bier #175 ! I have had a few bottles of this back in the late 90's bit no recollection rating wise aside from novelty high boost shit!

Bottle shared in Canary Wharf - picked up from GBBF I think. Vintage from the 1970s. Pours mostly clear ruby-brown with a small, foamy tan head. Lightly sweet, lots of meat and leather, a little brown sugar, it’s all fairly oxidised. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Toasted malts, old leather, aged berries to finish. So so.

Raisinny, malty aroma. Sweet taste with some roasted malt, raisin, porto, caramel, coffee, liquorice and some alcohol. Delicious and complex, but a bit sticky. --- Beer merged from original tick of Youngs Old Nick on 26 Aug 2019 at 12:07 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.

Rather alcoholic, firm hopbitterness. Blackcurrant and some licorice. Butterscotch. Strong and alcoholic, but a very nice beer, suitable for the colder days.

Oragne golden color, slight but steady head. Flowery honeyaroma and flavor. Perfumed sweet, but still some hops present. A bit of a woman's beer. Sweeter than average, a bit of flowers, a bit of honey. Well balanced. I like this beer, but "the nectar of the gods" as the label says......No!
